What does rational choice mean? When do we act rationally in making decisions? Is it possible to have collectively rational choices? If yes, can democratic voting be an expression of such social rationality? The book provides a primer in rational and social choice theory for approaching these issues. Last year’s undergraduate or PhD students are the main target of the book, or teachers interested in having an up-to-date textbook, full of examples and exercises. Key facets of the textbook include: a focus on formal results together with easy-to-handle examples, a literature review updated with recent research results and an extended approach which links topics covered here with other fields of scientific inquiry.

Diego Lanzi is Adjunct Professor of Economics at the University of Bologna, Italy. He has taught more than one hundred university courses among Bologna, Rimini, Venice and Florence. His publication record includes articles that have appeared in Economic Modelling, Cambridge Journal of Economics, Journal of Experimental and Behavioral Economics, Journal of Human Development and Capabilities, and many more. His research interests include choice theory, the capability approach to welfare economics, network economics, industrial organization and history of economic thought. Several books by him have been published in Italian; in English, he has recently written “Expressive Rationality and Choice” (2022) on the idea of expressive rationality.

Ten Years Later

From £25.00

Much of what you’ve been taught about the 2008 financial crisis is incorrect. It wasn’t caused by free market capitalism, but by market distortions from government subsidies and misregulation. The new regulations haven’t solved the problem—in fact, they may have made it worse.
